Refreshed

Mood: Normal :D

Okay i had a shower, so i'm feeling quite refreshed...which means this post might have a change of personality from the previous post. This time i actually have something important to say.

So for the past few days...being confined to the walls of my dwelling, i have come up with a few handy inventions that could possibly improve society's wellbeing.

Invention #1:
What?
A never ending tissue box.
Why?
To avoid the need to manually replace tissue boxes.
How?
A tunnel or chute is built into each house and all these chutes end up at one destination - the tissue filler. This system is much like a sink connected to the dam, where there is an "endless" supply.
Benefits:
  • It relieves the community's stress by removing a chore from the list.
  • It promotes equality for all since everyone uses the same tissues. This is a way to narrow the gap between the rich and poor and prevent discrimination through the use of tissues. E.g. Some use 3 ply tissues, which are obviously of a higher quality than 2 ply tissues. However, 3 ply are more expensive hence could suggest one's socioeconomic status.
  • It provides assurance that there is an "endless" supply of tissues.
  • It prevents deadly, contagious diseases such as influenza and the common cold from spreading, as those infected are not required to step out of their dwelling in order to purchase tissues.
Problems:
  • It is extremely environmentally unfriendly - it encourages use of tissues, and in accordance with the notion of supply and demand, the number of handkerchief users will decrease while the number of tissue users will increase.
  • It is extremely cost ineffective - the government would have to fund the manufacturing of these chutes for each and single household.
  • A house probably has more than one tissue box, hence each household would then need more than one chute. Although it could be a solution to only limit one per house, it would be an unfair disadvantage for those with larger houses as they would have to walk further to that single tissue chute, and even if they decide to purchase tissue boxes - the traditional way, this would also be a disadvantage as they would be denied from receiving all the benefits of this system.
  • Some may be allergic to the tissues issued (haha) through the chute.
  • Malfunctioning of the chute will be a major issue and will require continual maintenance. However, this will create new employment opportunities.
Far out, i can't believed i just typed all that out. What a waste of time...but some consider-able points there! :D

Byee!

Risotto

Mood: Pissed off at the taste.com.au recipe for chicken and mushrom risotto

Okay so on Wednesday, i made an awesome baked mushroom risotto. It was my first time at making a risotto and it was pretty good i'd have to admit. So my mum told me to make another one today. I decided to make a mushroom and chicken risotto with spinach leaves and chives and shiz so i found a recipe for that...on www.taste.com.au. I bought all the ingredients this morning (after swimming which was the only exercise i've done in a week) including chicken breast fillets. Dude i really did not realise how expensive they are...$15 for two pieces...

I started cooking right, and the recipe said add 5 cups of chicken stock to the 2 cups of risotto. AND DUDE chicken/beef stock that huey uses is a freaking rip off!! That's why i didn't use it! :D Instead, use that beautiful, tasty, healthy chicken powder...it's waaay cheaper and you can use it so many more times...and it's space-saving too! :D It comes in a can instead of blocks of cartons that IS ALSO ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY! Dayum i should become a marketing woman..HAHAHA which reminds me of my razor that i was supposed to market to people at Eastwood station...that was embarrassing...i was fine selling it to Jess and Genie...heh...

So yeah. Towards the end, i stirred the pot of risotto and it was getting really non-creamy so i was like wtf is wrong with this risotto? And then i realised that the recipe is FARKING RETARDED. It's supposed to be 4 cups of stock to 2 cups you fricking idiots from www.taste.com.au...which is funny coz it was also the same website from which i got the more successful mushroom risotto recipe. Then i had to ponder and ponder...then i just couldn't be bothered to make it creamier so i served it...until AFTERWARDS, i researched and i added milk to it...and it actually did make it creamier :) yay!

Anyway, i just realised that someone could easily kidnap me from all the info i give on my blog. I've stated where i go on friday afternoons, what station i get off (above), probably what school i go to, who is in my family, when i go swimming and they could probably identify me by the wounds i have on my body. WHICH REMINDS ME. The Car Accident Bruise is still there. Although the scab did come off today! It was amazing stuff! It wasn't quite peeling coz the scab was already separated from the skin below it...except for a small section that was hanging by some normal, non-wounded skin. The pattern of the scab was pretty dayum cool. It had spots on it, which apparently was from the hairs on my leg. And that was from my stockings. If i didn't wear stockings, i probably wouldn't have gotten a wound...but back to the bruise. Right now, it's all different colours. There's yellow, blue, purple and grey! There's still a bump on the bone bit below the kneecap and it still kind of hurts but it's definitely getting better! :)

Talking about stockings...i remember clearly when i was in kindy, i was standing on the slope of a small hill on our bit(ch)umen playground. Suddenly the wind brushed past me, bringing me down on my knees, which then made a hole in my stockings. That was a really weird experience. I think i was probably leaning forward and the wind gave me extra force...which made me fall onto the bitchymen ground.

I actually had no idea what i was babbling on about just then coz i've been so separated from society...so i kinda can't wait till school starts again.

Productivity

Today would have to be the most productive day of the year...so far. There could possibly be more productive ones to come in the following week or two.
So what did i do that was so productive?

1. Woke up at 7:30
2. Had breakfast and watched an episode of arthur :D Haha it was about Binky being nice to everyone, but no one said thank you or show any sign of appreciation in return..so he was getting sad...until he had a dream and this wrestler dude, who i think was supposed to represent Uncle Sam, took him on a journey showing what the world would be like without Binky's kindness...and he also showed him Binky's mum...who always did nice things without any thank you's...and guess what Binky said in response? "She's supposed to...she's my mum!" that made me L to the O to the L. But it was quite touching coz the next morning, he poured her a cup of orange juice, set out nicely with a vase of flowers and a letter saying "Thank you"...EXCEPT the mum took it like it was a normal thing to do...but in reality, wouldn't you suspect something's going on...coz a random thank you letter on a random day is absolutely normal? But, i guess it's encouraging kids to do the same...after all, it's Arthur :)
3. Did some maths
4. I TOOK DOWN THE DRY CLOTHES AND HUNG THE LAUNDRY? That sounds weird...Put out the laundry? No wait, it's put out the garbage...hung up the laundry? Whatever...put the wet clothes from the washing machine onto the clothesline. Then when my brother woke up at like...what, 10:30 in the afternoon, i told him all the things i did when he was sound asleep...what did he say? "What a good housewife." ==" I was expecting a compliment mate.
5. I practised piano
6. I finished science notes
7. I started commerce notes

So I AM PROUD. LOL that reminds me of biggest loser 2 years ago...with that green team...dammit forgot their names...

ANYWAY, i realised that my posts are really pointless and mostly about me...how self-centred. So i finally have something not quite related to me...except for the fact that i thought of it...?

Some people say that humans are the most intelligent creatures on this planet...i beg to differ. LOL i don't know why, but that phrase annoys me. Okay, so basically we've been living on this earth for around a few thousand years...and it's really been in the past 2000 years that humans have developed and ascended out of savagery. haha. Especially with the industrial revolution, medical improvements and genetic fricking engineering. Times have really changed...but are we really that 'intelligent'? (rhetorical question). Sure we may have discovered new ways to modify genes to create the "perfect baby" and travel to outer space...but all this at the cost of the Earth? We've really been killing this planet with our carbon dioxide and shiz and although we've made all this technological stuff, future generations may not even be able to experience it coz the earth is so fricking screwed. Compare us to animals and even native peeps. They've been living here for 340293847025984729346746937823647826437407 years and they've kept the earth nice and awesome.....ACTUALLY i just realised that my argument may be invalid. Coz there might have been previous civilisations that were just like us...it's just that we don't have the instruments to measure all the way back...damn, that's freaky...what if 20389472093856205982047634782394827356 years ago, there was a civilisation even smarter than us...and they might've damaged the earth as well...but somehow, it recovered by itself and it's all just a cycle...wow.................

Well, dammit. I thought i was up to something fascinating and nerdy. Well anyway, i still want to say that we're not the most intelligent things coz we damage the earth in such a short period of time, compared to animals and native people who have lived here for so fricking long and the earth was fricking pristine.

Gotta make this day even more productive now! Have a fabulous holiday everybodayyy!!!
